Calico kittens & cats in Edwardsville, Illinois

Cajun had a very rough start to life, but she hasn't affected her amazing spirit! She is so sweet and so small! She was found at a Motel parking lot. It took awhile to catch her, but apparently she loves her Popeye's chicken! That's what actually finally caught this beautiful girl! Cajun was eartipped, but is too friendly to be returned outside. She also lost part of her tail in an injury, but it is healing well. Everyone who meets her falls in love! She is shy at first, but quickly comes out of her shell! All she wants and needs is a safe and loving home!

Isabelle had an extremely rough summer, and likely first couple of years of life! She was found tossed aside by a creek, in a carrier with another cat. Unfortunately, a good samaritan found them and called for help! She hasn't let it stop her from being a very affectionate girl! Her sweet demeanor makes her an absolute delight!

This is Arrow, we found her at Mark Twain lake around 8 years ago. She is shy and likes to lay around most of the day. She can be skittish at times. We have been having behavioral problems when it comes to peeing outside of the litter box. We have tried everything from special litter and food, retraining to use the litter box, and using cat deterrent spray on areas she has peed on. This behavior problem has gotten worse since having a kid. We also believe it may be a dominance factor, because we have another cat in the house who is a male.

A few months ago, Ginger arrived at our home as a stray. We intended to care for her as an outdoor cat, but she had other ideas! Determined to come inside, we decided to take her to the vet for vaccinations and to get her spayed. At first, she was extremely cuddly, likely due to recovering from worms and adjusting to new food. As she got healthier, her playful side emerged, which led to some tension with my two older cats. They were rescued from a rough past, so they're set in their ways and not thrilled by her antics. Ginger, almost a year old, is full of kitten energy but already fully grown. She loves to "hunt" toys and sings proudly when she catches one. She’s also a curious explorer—I often find my craft supplies scattered after one of her treasure hunts! I’m seeking a loving home for Ginger, with someone who wants a playful, affectionate companion for the next 10-15 years. She’s a sweet cat who loves to run, play, and cuddle. Ginger would make a wonderful addition to any home!

Meet Patch! This super sweet boy loves affection and being part of the family. Head scratches are the best! I bet he would bring a lot of joy and warmth to everybody around him. He is a great snuggler and he wants to burrow right into your heart! As you can see, I'm a big guy. But, that means I'm a super snuggler. It's my superpower. I might look like an intimidating force, but really, I'm kind of a chicken. I love seeing so many new faces every day, but it's hard for me to muster up the courage to come greet you all at the door. If you want to be my friend, I'd really like that. You'll have to take the first step. Just talk to me a bit - tell me about your day. Talk about the wather. Boost my confidence and tell me how handsome I am or how beautiful my eyes are. I'll soften up, I promise. You can even reach in and touch me. I really, like head rubs. And I love when people scratch my chin. I'm an expert couch buddy, lap sitter, and bed warmer. I'm just looking for a quiet place to call my own. When you take me home, please be patient with me. It's going to take me a bit to get used to my surroundings. I promise that I'm happy to be there.
